2022 Map of Sugar Land

About this map

The Brazos River creates a meandering central corridor through this modern landscape, dividing the expanding suburban developments of Sugar Land and Richmond. These contemporary communities are built over a deep history of rural life and institutional land use, evidenced by the scattered small burial grounds like Murphy Jones Cem and Dickson Cem. A notable geographic transition occurs south of the urban centers, where the terrain opens into the wetland-rich drainage of Gapps Slough and Smithers Lake near the community of Thompsons.
